Book Description
Rohit Shetty Indian Literary Industry has come up with many authors who have received both national and international acclaim but amidst this, poetry has been sidelined and publishers do not publish poetry stating the lack of market, and as a result many talented writers or I must say poets fail to get their books out or get their poems published. First Step Publishing realises this situation and has come up with a collection of poems from poets across India, poets coming from all walks of life, Doctors, Engineers, Bankers, Students, Homemakers, Previously published poets, many to be published for the first time. Minds@Work is an annual book by First Step Publishing. Minds@Work 2 had no topic or content to be printed till I had a casual discussion with one of the entrants over coffee and realised that an anthology of poems can be done for this edition, so an online campaign was started calling in for entries. We were overwhelmed with the kind of response we received and had a tough time in selecting poets as every entry deserves to be a part of Minds@Work2. I would like to thank the entire team of First Step Publishing for making a casual talk a working reality and also Design Fishing for the beautiful cover and our associates, Speak Out Newspaper for Branding and Promotions and First Step Corp for designing and developing our Android App. In the end my love and warm regards to all the readers

Minds at Work
Author: David Grebow
Publisher: Association for Talent Development
ISBN: 1562868268
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
The only sustainable advantage in our hypercompetitive marketplace is the ability to learn and adapt faster than everyone else. Companies that cling to management practices of a bygone era continue to fade away. They desperately need managers who empower people to seek out learning at a moment’s notice. Minds at Work can help you be that manager. This book captures the role managers play in the knowledge economy—where uninhibited, on-demand learning inspires employees to achieve higher levels of performance. Authors David Grebow and Stephen J. Gill describe how managers can move from a traditional “command and control” position to become advocates of communication and collaboration. They share what happens when managers help their direct reports grow as people and use technology to pull the learning they need when they need it. Minds at Work illustrates this shift to a learning community with success stories from forward-looking companies. With this better way to manage, these companies have unearthed those “aha!” moments as the dots connect after continuous problem solving, trial and error, and innovation. Each has redefined norms, made knowledge sharing flat, and created a workplace culture built to last. Use this book to embrace learning anytime, anywhere. Nurture the minds at work, and you’ll win the hearts of your organization.

The Influential Mind
Author: Tali Sharot
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 162779266X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
A cutting-edge, research-based inquiry into how we influence those around us and how understanding the brain can help us change minds for the better. In The Influential Mind, neuroscientist Tali Sharot takes us on a thrilling exploration of the nature of influence. We all have a duty to affect others—from the classroom to the boardroom to social media. But how skilled are we at this role, and can we become better? It turns out that many of our instincts—from relying on facts and figures to shape opinions, to insisting others are wrong or attempting to exert control—are ineffective, because they are incompatible with how people’s minds operate. Sharot shows us how to avoid these pitfalls, and how an attempt to change beliefs and actions is successful when it is well-matched with the core elements that govern the human brain. Sharot reveals the critical role of emotion in influence, the weakness of data and the power of curiosity. Relying on the latest research in neuroscience, behavioral economics and psychology, the book provides fascinating insight into the complex power of influence, good and bad. Praise for The Influential Mind Winner of the 2018 British Psychological Society Book Award Selected as a Best Book of 2017 by Forbes, The Times (UK), The Huffington Post, Bloomberg, Greater Good Magazine, Inc., Stanford Business School,and more “Sharot . . . covers the topic more fully and more authoritatively in a book whose title gives appropriately equal billing to thought, behavior and neurons. . . . Her book is a witty survey of techniques to influence and guide human behavior.” —The New York Times Book Review “This timely, intriguing book explains why it’s so difficult to shift the attitudes and actions of others—and what we can do about it.” —Adam Grant, New York Times–bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take
